Chapter 249: The Tragedy of the Study Room

After a sumptuous lunch, the two sat in front of the fire to communicate with each other. Only one maid remained in the room, and the others returned to the dining room of the back kitchen to enjoy lunch.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Adelaide asked as she looked at the burning firewood while sipping green gin.

At this time in the past, he should have rushed into the room with his arms in his arms, but today's behavior is not at all like his usual style.

"—I have a plan, maybe I should tell you in advance." While pondering, Li Zitao decided to tell her first, about Bethlehem and his future plans.

"Multinational Steel Corporation, have you mentioned it to your mother?" Adelaide asked.

"I plan to go to the Grand Duke's Castle in person after the merger in Bethlehem is over." Li Zitao said according to the original plan.

"I think you should talk to your mother now. Not all of Albeid's shares are in the hands of her mother. She needs time to mobilize other shareholders."

Hearing what Adelaide said, Li Zitao asked curiously; "Isn't our share added up enough?"

"Some problems cannot be solved by stock alone, just like many things cannot be solved by brute force alone."

Seeing her fiancé's curious expression, Adelaide patiently explained Albert's situation to him.

The largest steel company in Europe was formed by the merger of three large steel companies.

Before brokering the deal, the Grand Dukes promised to retain some of their powers.

For example, in some cases, it has the right to voluntarily separate from Albeid and resume the right to operate independently.

Moreover, Albeid Company also has equity representatives of many steel companies, and these small shareholders hold very few shares.

But each of them is backed by a steel company located in Luxembourg, and all of them together account for half of the Luxembourg steel industry.

"Luxembourg can be called the kingdom of steel, and it is inseparable from their support. It also needs their help if it wants to open up the European market."

After listening to his fiancée's explanation, Li Zitao realized that it was him who was missing.

I thought that the only one who needed to be persuaded was the Grand Duke, but it turned out that there were many representatives of steel companies, the Luxembourg Iron and Steel Association, and the European Iron and Steel Association.

"It just so happens that I miss my mother a little bit, let's come together!" Li Zitao was considering whether to make a phone call now, and Adelaide walked to the study first.

With such a considerate and capable wife who is devoted to him, Li Zitao felt that he must have saved all mankind in his previous life.

In the study, she dialed the number of Grand Duke Bao, listening to Adelaide and the Grand Duke chatting about the daily life, after a while, she changed the topic to Li Zitao.

"Mother wants to talk to you in person." Adelaide handed over the microphone.

"Your Excellency, good afternoon, are you in good spirits?" Li Zitao greeted with a smile.

"I'm fine, Charlie. I hope you have time and can bring Mary back to have a look. Without her, the Grand Duke Castle looks a bit lonely!"

"Okay, I planned to bring her to meet with you after the matter was over—" Li Zitao repeated his plan.

"It's a good idea. I will hold a meeting with the association to negotiate. I believe the result will be satisfactory, but before that, I need their detailed report."

It is completely unrealistic for the Grand Duke to use his mouth to persuade other people with empty words.

"I will get Ben to sort it out as soon as possible and send it to the Grand Duke by email, and Mary and I will start the trip soon." After finalizing the trip to Luxembourg early next month, Li Zitao handed over the phone to his fiancée and sat beside him waiting.

"Okay, mother—goodbye, mother." After hanging up the phone, Adelaide blinked mischievously and said with a smile: "Mother said that she will do her best to facilitate this deal."

"It's really good news. I also want to thank that I have a smart and capable fiancee." Li Zitao stood up and put his arms around her waist, pushing her against the desk and smiling.

"Honey, the look in your eyes makes me a little worried." Seeing his plan, Adelaide tried to push him.

"Yes, just like you thought, this place is great, and it will make us spend an unforgettable afternoon." As he spoke, Her Highness the Princess sat on the table with a vigorous lift of her hands.

"Oh, you ferocious beast, I'd go mad—"

The fierce battle started, and the person waiting at the door was replaced by Dan, who moved to the side of the corridor expressionlessly after hearing the movement in the house.

At the same time, he waved his hand to signal the reddish maids to leave. Now is not the time for the master to serve.

After a battle ended after dinner, Li Zitao opened the door of the room with disheveled clothes and probed: "Let Felice go to the study, and also, bring clothes that fit."

Since there are servants in the room, he can no longer be as unscrupulous as before, leaving a mark of love in every corner of the room.

So boring!

"Ms. Phyllis, you need to go to the study and bring suitable clothes." A maid relayed the message to her.

"Whose?" Phyllis asked.

"Both." The maid pursed her lips and smirked, causing Phyllis to stare sharply.

Holding two sets of comfortable nightgowns in both hands, Phyllis came to the study, Dan knocked on the door and left, leaving her there.

"Phyllis?" Li Zitao's voice came out.

"Yes, sir," Phyllis replied, feeling a little nervous.

"Come in!" Hearing the response, Phyllis took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.

The air in the room was very poor. Li Zitao was sitting on the sofa, wearing a crooked suit, and his soaked shirt was still on the floor.

Her Highness the Princess curled up limply in his arms, her pink skin dripping with sweat looked extraordinarily alluring.

"Give me the nightgown." Li Zitao stretched out his hand, took the wine-red nightgown and put it on the princess, before gently placing her on the sofa.

It's just that he made Phyllis a little embarrassed at this moment, and the clothes under the suit seemed to be completely torn.

"Thank you." After taking the nightgown and shaking off the wet suit, Li Zitao stepped forward to hug the princess and said, "This place needs to be cleaned. I hope you can do it yourself. Is there any problem?"

"No." Phyllis nodded, but just saw the gap between the nightgown.

It wasn't until Li Zitao left with the sleeping princess in his arms that Felice opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath. The feisty breath in the air made her heart beat faster.

When she saw the torn cloth strips all over the floor, as well as the water stains on the table and sofa, her breathing became heavier, and her undulating chest was like ocean waves.

Picking up the trousers with only the fabric left on the waist, looking at the torn place underneath, Phyllis's world view was refreshed again.

Was Her Royal Highness, the lady princess who was once like a pearl, tempted by the devil?
